Pennine Theatre, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield S1 1WB
Tuesday 29 April. Doors 6.30pm, start time 7pm
Organised by Sheffield Festival of Debate in association with Global Justice Sheffield.
World-leading political economist Jason Hickel will present a compelling strategy for the democratic transformation of society. Our current obsession with limitless growth drives ecological breakdown, yet our leaders insist it is the only way to create social benefits. Jason will debunk these myths, outline the limits of ‘green growth’, expose the costs to the global south, and put forward policies that provide a good standard of living for everyone on the planet while keeping us within our planetary boundaries.
The conversation will be chaired by Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now, and we will discuss a plan for an eco-socialist future: keeping resource use within earth’s ecological limits, using technology that benefits people rather than profit, and through politics that enhances community wellbeing
